Sheila Wolf writes in her blog: "It doesn’t matter if you are a nuclear physics nobel price winner, nutrition company CEO, news anchorman a nudist camp leader or a drag Queen. As long as you’re here for the finest Asian noodle dishes in town [...] my alltime favourite main dish of this wonderful Restaurant - 1 kg Black Tiger Prawns with spicy-lime-ginger- & homemade Aioli-dip, Myxao-noodles, thai-rice & wok vegetables. You have to start with canapé platter with Tuna fish kebab, vegetarian spring roll, marta bak, Fried won ton, shrimp ans sweet potato tempura - its unbelievable. After meal you can relaxing and chilling with good sound and a huge light panel at the bar"

Styled like a retro living room, which is part of the experience

Reviews:
Steve McKenna writes in SMH: "With its uneven wooden floorboards, smoky haze and profusion of dimmed red lights - not to mention its 1960s-style decor, tatty wallpaper and furniture that looks like it's been picked up from a flea market - it could be construed as unbearably pretentious.[...] this place is so different I can't help but like it. It's certainly one of the coolest bars I've ever been to."

The Basics:
Lettestr. 6, 10437 Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg (Eberswalder Str)

URL: Wohnzimmer

Accessible? small step in the entrance, no disabled toilets

Child-Friendliness? surprisingly for a bar, quite accommodating for kids - in certain hours. They have a children's time in the afternoon and a non-smoking room (although it also stinks of smoke, so policy is not really enforced)

White Trash Fast Food

Bar/Club/American

Trendy in your face place

Reviews:
Lola y Maria write in their blog: "WTFF serves up delicious Fried Chicken, Ribs, Burritos, etc...It was better BBQ than I've found in NYC..."

Like many other English language sources, Berlin-Life repeats the weird urban legend that White Trash Fast Food (WTFF) is "Housed in what was was once a Chinese restaurant favoured by Communist party big wigs". However, it also correctly writes that "Once you've seen Elvis holding aloft a quarter pounder in a Socialist style pose you've seen pretty much everything. After your meal no need to go elsewhere for post-dinner drinks."
